Thanks CJB

Them being fusiform fish explains a lot! I always thought the bass would chew on them after the trout plants stop.

I've witnessed some giant common carp spawns on Clear Lake (our states biggest natural lake) during the full moons in spring. Fish would often group up in shallow coves. The amount of slapping and splashing about is indescribable. The next morning the whole cove would be a milky green white. Luckily they have bow hunting tournaments to help control things. Often they will fill two 20' containers with carb in the 10-20lb class.

There was a huge epidemic of carp dying off in '08. The surrounding local cities had to help clean up the shorelines of 1000's of dead carp. It was nasty! http://www.record-bee.com/sports/ci_10801271
